I don't know anything about that engine, but it looks like wear metals are not bad at all for (approximately) 9.5k miles. Fe at 1ppm/1k miles is not bad at all! And contamination is nicely low. Looks like a good engine you've bought.

Is this a diesel? Soot seems very low for such. Is this an engine similar to what we'd know as the "TDI" in the States?

The act of preventative maintenance, in and of itself, is FAR MORE important than brand/grade/base choices among lubes and filters. - under maintaining something is akin to abuse/neglect; that can kill equipment by shortening the lifespan- over maintaining something has never been proven to be anything but a waste of time and money
